2 Reasons For

Narrow

The widths of fridge freezers of a similar age and type to the FC34XPNF range from 540mm to 1,800mm, and the average width is 600mm. The FC34XPNF is quite narrow (only 595 millimeters) compared to most of the other fridge freezers that have been on the market for a similar time to the FC34XPNF.

We think you might also be interested in some of the other 595mm wide fridge freezers currently available including the AEG S73400CTW1[plb_1316169_price] which is cheaper.

If you would consider a fridge freezer with a wider width then you might want to look at the Beko CN 136230 X[plb_1317616_price] (595mm), or the Bauknecht KGN 312 A+ IO[plb_1279091_price] (595mm).

12 Reasons Against

Smeg Only Has Poor Reviews for Its Fridge Freezers

We checked the reviews from users and experts of hundreds of fridges to determine an average rating for each fridge freezer brand. On average Smeg fridges have poor ratings from owners and experts.

Running Costs Are Very High

This Smeg fridge has an energy efficiency classification of A+, however the average running cost of the FC34XPNF is £722 over 24 years based on typical energy prices, which makes it one of the least economic to run fridge freezers of this spec and age.

Does Not Have an Air Filter

Most comparable spec fridges that were released more than two years ago do not have an air filter. The Smeg FC34XPNF is no exception to this as it too does not have an air filter.

We think you might also be interested in alternative fridge freezers which also have an air filter including the Gorenje RK 62FSY2[plb_2049386_price], or the Siemens KG39NH90[plb_1266321_price] which is also cheaper.

Does Not Have a Super Cool Function

The FC34XPNF does not have a super cool function, although this is within the context that most of the other similar spec fridges that are a comparable age to the FC34XPNF also do not have a super cool function.

We think you might also be interested in alternative fridge freezers which also have a super cool function including the Bauknecht KGN 2282 A++[plb_1799725_price], or the Whirlpool ART 9811[plb_2648964_price] which is also cheaper.

+9 More reasons against

Does Not Have a Water Filter

The FC34XPNF does not have a water filter, although it is worth keeping in mind that most of the other medium total net capacity fridges that have been on the market for a comparable time to the FC34XPNF also do not have a water filter.

ChartEdit

Does Not Have a Water Dispenser

The FC34XPNF does not have a water dispenser, although this is within the context that most of the other medium total net capacity fridges that have been around for around the same time as the FC34XPNF also do not have a water dispenser.

We compared this fridge freezer to all the other fridge freezers with a water dispenser and we think the LG GB3133[plb_2312393_price] is also worth considering.

Does Not Have an Icemaker

The FC34XPNF does not have an icemaker, although it is worth keeping in mind that most of the other fridge freezers of this spec and age also do not have an icemaker.

We compared this fridge to all the other fridges with an icemaker and we think the Samsung RB31FERNDBC[plb_2518560_price] which is also cheaper is also worth considering.

Does Not Feature Ice Crushing

Most similar spec fridges that have been on the market for more than two years do not feature ice crushing. The Smeg FC34XPNF is no exception to this as it too does not feature ice crushing.

ChartEdit

Does Not Have an AntiBacteria Function

Most fridge freezers of this type and age do not have an AntiBacteria function. The Smeg FC34XPNF is no exception to this as it too does not have an AntiBacteria function.

We compared all the other fridge freezers which also have an AntiBacteria function to this fridge freezer and we think the Samsung RB31FERNC[plb_1589102_price] is also worth considering.

Fairly High Connected Load

The connected load of the FC34XPNF of 174 Watts is one of the highest amongst medium total net capacity fridges that were launched more than two years ago. The connected loads of fridges that have been available for around the same time as the FC34XPNF range from -3W to 320W.

ChartEdit

Very Loud Noise Level

When compared to other fridges that have been on the market for a similar time to the FC34XPNF that we have checked, the noise level of the FC34XPNF of 45 decibels is one of the loudest. The noise levels of medium total net capacity fridges that came out around the same time as the FC34XPNF range from 34dB to 48dB.

If you would consider a fridge with a louder noise level then you might want to look at the Siemens KG39NH90[plb_1266321_price] (44dB), or the Bosch Combin[plb_892278_price] (44dB) which is also cheaper.

Average Net Fridge Capacity

At 228 liters, the FC34XPNF has a fairly standard net fridge capacity compared to most of the other fridges of a similar type and age to the FC34XPNF.

Average Height

At 1,850 millimeter, the FC34XPNF has a fairly average height compared to most of the other fridge freezers of this spec and age.

We compared this fridge to all the other 1,850mm tall fridge freezers and we think cheaper fridges such as the AEG S73400CTW1[plb_1316169_price], and the Bosch Combin[plb_892278_price] is also worth considering.

If you would consider a fridge with a taller height then you might want to look at the AEG S83200CMW0[plb_666107_price] (1,850mm).

Average Depth

At 650 millimeters, the FC34XPNF has a fairly standard depth compared to most of the other fridge freezers of this type and age.

There are a number of alternative 650mm deep fridges currently available which you might also want to look at including cheaper fridges such as the Siemens KG39NH90[plb_1266321_price].

If you are not concerned about having a deeper depth then you might also want to look at the KGE36AW30[pl_197538_price] (650mm), or the KGE36AW40[pl_798241_price] (650mm) both from Bosch.

Average Storage Time During Power Failure

At 17 hours, the FC34XPNF has a fairly typical storage time during power failure compared to most of the other fridge freezers of a comparable age and spec to the FC34XPNF.

We compared all the other 17h storage time during power failure fridge freezers to this fridge freezer and we think the Bosch Combin[plb_892278_price] which is cheaper is also worth considering.

If this fridge storage time during power failure is too short for you then you might want to consider the Samsung RB29FSRNDBC[plb_2170027_price] (18h and cheaper).
